    Hi,

    Appreciate this isn’t an Achtung Panzer forum, but there doesn’t seem to be one and BA is the closest fit.

    I’m a little interested in this, but I’d like to understand what data you need to play.  Do you have to have the Warlord Games data and playing cards to play – wondering whether you are tied into what tanks warlord sell and provide data cards for or whether the rule book provides the information needed to create your own cards for a bigger range of vehicles.

    In particular I notice that the data cards available are all late war – does this mean that this game only supports late war.

    And why no forum here or channel on the discord – does this suggest that the game has not proved popular?

    Hi,  Re the discord – AP is a new game (less than 6 months since release at the start of April), and WL have released a number of games that start popular then die off so the mods of the discord are waiting to see the longevity of the game.  Again here on the Forum I think theres been less than half a dozen threads.

    Now about the game:
    Yes the game is CURRENTLY Late War centric, only tanks that were in use & WL sell models for are included.  I say currently because who knows what is in the pipeline.
    The rule book has about 20 entries per the 4 core nations (Germany, US, British & USSR), it also has a blank data card (and tokens) that you can copy and print out yourself.

    The card packs can be as much of a problem as a solution as they are double sided, and outside of a couple of common tank types, one have one of each.  I’ve tried to build a list and  found that two tanks I want (from what I have) were opposite sides of the same card.

    EDIT – no rules for creating your own tanks – but you can look at whats there and tweak for other viriants of included tanks – eg theres the OT34/85 but not an OT34/76 but using the difference btween the OT & T34/85s you can create the OT34/76
